Suricata

While comparing the decoded alert playload from EVE log and alert debug log data I have noticed that the decoded EVE base64 payload is short by 16 characters and there is non-printable hex at the beginning of the decoded data.

To generate an example of this issue I used the pcap at, http://www.malware-traffic-analysis.net/2015/07/31/2015-07-31-Angler-EK-and-CryptoWall-3.0.pcap, to generate the traffic and sid 2018452 to generate the alerts. EVE, alert-debug, and suricata log data have been included in the attached tar file.
